The configure script in gnash 0.8.8 allows local users to overwrite
arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the (1)
/tmp/gnash-configure-errors.$$, (2) /tmp/gnash-configure-warnings.$$,
or (3) /tmp/gnash-configure-recommended.$$ files.

Fixed in gnash-0.8.8.ebuild without revbump, as this does not affect users who have gnash already installed.
